Lee's Summit Sunrise Rotary was chartered on March 26, 1999, and is strongly committed to the ideals of Rotary as depicted in our club vision statement: To Be A Vibrant Service Club That Is Engaged In The Community At Home And Abroad. Sunrise Rotary welcomes all who have a desire for community service and interested in growing friendships with other service minded community members. Over the years Sunrise Rotary has developed a reputation for international service. It has hosted multiple international delegations from Russia,France, Chile, Dominican Republic and Australia, Africa, focusing on understanding our medical, construction, education and legal systems. The club has also participated in school literacy programs for children in Central America and has built eight water purification plants at schools in Central Thailand. We are currently working on the possibility of building a water for a secondary school in Zimbabwe. Locally, the club was responsible for raising over $100,000 used in constructing a Legacy Park playground for children with special physical needs. Our annual service projects are our Fly A Flag, Adopt A Street, BBQ’s for low income housing with COLDWATER and Pro Deo Youth Center, and essential items collections for Hope House. Feed Lee’s Summit has become a signature fundraiser which has supported those who are food challenged in Lee’s Summit. Sunrise has given grants of just over $240,000 since its inception in 2019.

The last couple of weeks our own Scott Crist has been the star attraction. On September 18 Scott provided us with all the information about our Shoes For Orphan Souls project. This project is in its 26 year and Sunrise has participated every year. This morning Scott shared with us all the ins and outs about his kayak race, the for MR-340 race from Kansas City to St Louis on the Mighty Missouri River. Scott raced this summer in the MR-345 and is planning to race again in 2027! This is a four day grueling race which only about 63% of racers complete.

Rachel Hiles, founder of Sandwiched KC joined our Sunrise Rotary meeting this morning, sharing her journey in creating the organization, which creates opportunities for family caregivers across the Kansas City
metro to find shared wisdom and local support.

Back in 2018, when Rachel was the caregiver for her grandmother, she learned how little support there was for the caregiving community and following her grandmother’s passing, set her sights on building a support system to serve the gaping need.

Thank you, Rachel!
